cable.
• If you are connecting a SuperScript 1450N printer or if
you have installed the optional 1450 NIC, you will need a

Printer Driver Features

Manual Duplex Printing
Duplex printing or "duplexing" allows you to manually print
on both sides of the paper. You can use manual duplex
printing two ways.
Choosing Long Edge lets you have the
binding orientation along the long edge of
the paper as in a magazine.
Choosing Short Edge lets you have the
binding orientation along the short edge of
the paper as in a calendar.
The duplexing feature can be accessed from
the printer driver's Properties pages or from
the Operator Panel.
Proof Sheets
This layout mode allows you to print out a
reduced version of your document or
booklet. It lets you scan multiple pages at a
glance and is accessible through the Layout
Mode area of the Finishing tab in your
Window's driver.
